New Before the Storm Excerpt - The King's Offer

As we approach closer to the release date of the upcoming WoW novel Before the Storm, more material starts to surface about it. This time it comes from Polygon, which published the new excerpt yesterday on their website.\r\rBefore the Storm takes place after the Legion epilogue and before the Burning of Teldrassil. In this novel, we learn more about how the old wounds between the Alliance and Horde reopened. \r\rThe full novel is available on June 12, 2018, and you can buy it here.\r\rWe do not have the full story yet, but here are some past excerpts and previews:\rPrologue\rAmazon Preview\rAnduin's letter to Sylvanas\rThe Netherlight Temple\rMagni, Sylvannas, and Anduin\r\r\rLearn more about all the lore that takes place after Legion in our Battle for Azeroth Lore Compilation.\r\r\rFrandis\u2014his brother\u2014had been a Forsaken. Abruptly Fredrik started to tremble, and the wine sloshed around in the beautiful goblet. He took a gulp to steady his nerves, then kicked himself for not savoring the rare vintage.\r\r\u201cA hero,\u201d Fredrik said, repeating King Anduin\u2019s words. \u201cThat don\u2019t sound like a Forsaken,\u201d he added cautiously, wondering if this was some kind of game.\r\r\u201cNot like what we think of as Forsaken, no,\u201d the woman said. Beside her, the gray-haired man was looking increasingly irritated.\r\r\u201cBut does it sound like Frandis?\u201d the king asked.\r\rTears shimmered in Fredrik\u2019s eyes. \u201cIt do,\u201d he said. \u201cHe were a good man, Your Majesty.\u201d\r\r\u201cI know,\u201d the king said. \u201cAnd he was a good man even after he died. There are other Forsaken who also retain themselves even after . . . their transition. Not all of them, certainly. But some.\u201d\r\r\u201cIt . . . don\u2019t seem possible,\u201d Fredrik murmured.\r\r\u201cLet me ask you a question,\u201d the king said. \u201cLet\u2019s suppose, by some chance, Frandis was still with us. As a Forsaken. Knowing that he was still largely himself, still the good man who was your brother, would you have liked to meet with him?\u201d\r\r Read the full excerpt on Polygon\r\r

Before people start complaining "What's the point in buying the book if they're just posting a bunch of this stuff"; the book is 304 pages. These excerpts are probably 2 or 3 pages at best.

"The boy-king serves at the master's table. Three lies will he offer you."

I see people posting those "Void whisper prophecy crap" things and I honestly can't figure out what part of the material here they are comparing that to.

Three lies will he offer you...\r\rthe first was loving his father....he hatedhim after being abandoned for years o3o\r\rOld god whispers aren't meant to be taken literally. The "Lies" could be misinformation or mistakes that inevitably lead to the old gods rise. The void offers half truths.

These excerpts are probably 2 or 3 pages at best.\r\rWhen you add them to the Amazon preview which was about 83 pages throughout the entire book, though, it all adds up to almost half the book at this point.

No wonder so many fell for the Old Gods, consider how many immediately believe that Il'gnyoth spoke full truth.\r\rOld Gods exaggerate things a lot, they might describe a butcher, "NO! He will never stop killing! He will not rest until his dying breath! Stop him! Stop him now!" All may well be true, but not at all as severe as it sounds.

All may well be true, but not at all as severe as it sounds.\r\rI'm kinda just assuming old gods got the same kinda "see all possibilities" thing going that their Void lords do, so perhaps what they say isn't necessarily a lie, it's just a possibility that they see (And are possibly encouraging). Of course they usually leave out the part about how that is one of many possibilities and even they aren't sure which ones will come to pass.

You listen to lies from a liar ? The whispers of evil, that are meant to turn you towards madness.

I'm a big fanboy of Old Gods, I'll be the first to admit it right here and now. But, no, this isn't one of the Boy-King lies, just like any new race seen briefly in Battle for Azeroth is not an automatic new Allied Race. Literally every new thing released that has Anduin talking is "A lie from the Boy-King!" \r\rI wish they'd just release the book already, considering the epilogue cinematic is supposed to take place during it, and we've had Argus defeated for weeks at the least.
